Spark plugs cause radio interference; modern spark plugs have
resistors that are supposed to prevent this. There was talk on the
motorcycle NGs a few years ago about using non-resistor plugs to make
a cellphone-free area around your motorcycle, but even if this or any
other suppression measure worked, I wouldn't use it on the road -
better a driver talking on the phone than a driver shaking, tapping,
jiggling his phone or doing other futile moves to try and figure out
why it doesn't work.
